I was a preschool teacher many, many years ago.
One day, we were all outside sitting near a tree…and I was reading a children’s book.
Suddenly, a little boy said: “Teacher! Do you know if we are hurting the grass?”
What?”
“When we sit on the grass, does it make the grass cry?”
I had to think about that for a minute. What an interesting question!
Even though I didn’t have all the answers, I did my best everyday to teach the children to be kind to the world around them.http://storieswithnobooks.com/2012/05/18/tolerance/
